Show .', CCO LAW BRE AKEHS PROSECUTED AT FERRON Judge E. D. Sorensen of tho juv-. juv-. ,.e court for this judicial diefftK-t loaipanied by Levi N. Harmon, district dis-trict probation officer, spent the mid-jie mid-jie of the week in thecounty looking up different matters connected with juvenile work. Among other business attended to while here was the prosecution of Jas. L. Stevens of Ferron for furnishing furnish-ing minors with tobacco a seriou. offense under the tobacco laws passed at the last session of the legislature. Stevens was fined $25 and it is hoped that this one prosecution will e enough to convince all dealers in the county that the law and those commissioned with the enforcement of the same are not to be trifled with. It is bad enough for a youngster to be addicted to the use of the weed, but it is shamefully disgraceful when a dealer, who should know better, thus contributes to the delinquency of the youth of the community; and it is the policy of the juvenile officers offi-cers to give the greatest publicity to all convictions secured under the law in a hope that others who may be guilty may know what is coming to them if they presist in disobeying he statute.
